Wow I am behind on posting my readings! Let's see I have read The Color Of my Words by Lynn Joseph, it is a quick read and is about a young girl who just wants to write down her thoughts. I thought it really interesting and read it in a few hours.
I also read The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel by Diane Setterfield this was my Mexico read and was good. It is a mystery book about a famous author who hires a lady so she can finally tell they story of her life, which she hasn't ever told anyone. It doesn't end the way you think it will and I thought it was good. There wasn't bad language or anything. Good read. You should get it from the library and read!
I did read Atonement, the movie was rated R and so was the book. So now you have been warned! Ok so if you have any other questions about these books let me know and I will try an answer!
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, I am really not impressed with this one. There was very vulgar topics and boring sections. He could have written this one in one page and just said it is about monks and building cathedrals and rape with a few happy parts thrown in, The End. Don't waste your time or pollute your mind with this book. I don't understand what all the hype was and why on Earth Oprah would choose this book and then rave about it.
These are the two books we're reading for our ward book club this month. I am loving them! They are quick easy reads, middle school age reading probably. They are set during the depression. Two kids from Chicago are sent to live with their Gramma for a week each summer and in the second book the daughter goes for a year since her dad is out of work and they lost their apartment. There are funny stories about the things these kids do with their Gramma; she reminds me a lot of my Gramma Cooke. I think I'll be buying these two for our collection.
